What is the Cambodian legal system like?

Cambodia's legal system is known as a mixed legal system. While this system is based on traditional law rules, it also includes influences from the French legal system. Cambodia was influenced by the French colonial period, during which the French legal system spread throughout Cambodia. Therefore, Cambodia's legal system contains some elements of the French legal system. The French legal system is based on written rules of law and requires courts to use these rules in the judicial process. However, Cambodia's legal system also includes customary law rules. Cambodia's traditional legal system focuses on the maintenance and management of social order at the village level. This legal system is based on the values, traditions and customs of the society. The legal system in Cambodia consists of different courts such as the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, Administrative Court and Criminal Court. These courts judge different areas of law and have different legal powers. The legal system in Cambodia also faces some problems. There are problems especially in matters such as corruption, behavior contrary to the rule of law and human rights violations. These problems raise concerns about the independence and effectiveness of the legal system.
